1. That noise I heard must have been the cheering coming from Wales.

2. It's coming home

to Italy! 🎉🎉🎉

Good result. The better team won.

7. Many people don't know that England initially rejected the World Cup

and then the Euro football competitions because they believed they owned football and were above everyone else.
Let them take their superiority and shove it. Next time they must hold off the celebrations until they win something.

3. I'm glad I'm not in England tonight.

Drunk pissed off-soccer fans are worse than drunk happy soccer fans....I think!

8. and don't forget the good old racism

9. There's some data on that

England has a real problem either way. “Happy” fans aren’t much better:

There can be no doubt that football is England’s most popular sport and that the England national football team is the most closely followed of all the nation’s teams. This reaches fever pitch during international tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup. For many this is a time of positivity, community, and national pride, but some evidence shows a darker side to these events. During the last World Cup the National Centre for Domestic Violence ran national awareness campaigns with the striking headline ‘If England gets beaten so will she’ overlaid on the image of a woman’s bloodied face. This was the conclusion of a study published in 2014, which found that reported cases of intimate partner violence increased by 38% when England lost and by 26% when they won or drew in the tournament.

4. Oh my

Where’s Ted Lasso when we need him?

5. England's PKs were atrocious.

Hats off to both teams. Tied at the end of the game. Tied after extra time. England loses by making only 2 out of 5 penalty kicks?

Very glad I'm not in a pub in England right now (or for the next month or so). Devastating loss.

Congrats to Italy.

6. I'm sad! I like the English footballers

Jordan Henderson has to be the nicest footballer on Earth.
